WBB: American Southwest Conference

This is all there is about Pantallion in the story about the game posted on the LC webpages:

More prominent was the loss of starting shooting guard Christy Pantallion, who was suspended for the game at the discretion of Coach Richard.

"It was a decision I made. It was a disciplinary thing," was all the information given by the coach about the decision to sit the second-leading scorer on the Lady Wildcats roster.

Does the ASC check players' grades before the playoffs?  As nash says, something serious must have happened to cause a decision like this.

Coach Joseph-Richard will take a LaCollege team back to the playoffs, soon.

I believe it.  This is a great team and they played hard all season.  Their comeback in the tournament game with HPU was amazing, and their final game with us was a nail-biter all the way.  It's unfortunate that they couldn't play GFU at full strength.  The LC webpage story also says that Brianna Lewis was out a bunch of the game with an ankle injury.  It sounds like they gave it their best shot, but it's got to be an uphill battle when you aren't firing on all your cylinders.

Greetings to those in the ASC,
The LC Wildcats made a very positive impression in Oregon. With only 1 senior on their roster, I look forward to following them next year and would expect them to be a quality team. Williams did a great job both defensively, disrupting Munger (6'-5" center), and offensively by going right at Munger with a quick jump hook. I was also impressed with the sportsmanship of Williams, her teammates and the coaching staff.

We were treated to a dedicated and vocal fan group from Louisiana who remained positive in cheering on their team to the very end. I assume the woman leading the cheers was a mom of one of the players (she had "Givens" on the back of her shirt). She was terrific.

I wish LC safe travel and all the best next season.

Thanks for your comments, BruinFan.  Of course, we all hope if you meet up with another team from the ASC, you'll be playing it here instead of in Oregon!

That would be nice, but it will probably take an undefeated ASC team to do it, (ie. HPU in 2008).

We're gonna miss you, Coach Cochran

Best wishes in your future endeavors.

Where is everyone?  I'm ready for another HPU ASC Championship run!!!
I went to Huntsville and watched the Lady Jackets play against DI Sam Houston State and they looked pretty good for most of the game.  I was very impressed with Coach Prock, who seems to have come into his own and showed a calm confidence. Impressive.  The girls need some fine tuning, but we have some athletic newbies to go with the last class from the Championship "Perfect Storm" season. 

I will miss the Ky. trip, but can't wait for things to get rollin.

GO LADY JACKETS

Cowgirls start with two good wins in Colorado.  Lots of people scoring is good sign.

Please keep Coach Janice Joseph-Richard's family in your prayers! She passed away not long ago with her battle with cancer! She was a very dear friend of mine! She leaves a true legacy of courage and perseverance behind! She taught me to be a believer and never give up! May God comfort her family! Love
you Coach Richard! <>< LADY WILDCCAT FOREVER!!!!

I was speaking with McMurry Head Coach Veronica Snow this last weekend about the tourney last spring in Louisiana, when LC beat McMurry in a thrilling finish in the tourney.

LC then got the AQ to the NCAA's.  Coach Joseph-Richard went out a winner.

She did go out in fashion with a ring. We just had the ring ceremony at our alumni game. She came for a bit to Saturday's home game. She will be greatly missed around LC.

I had the honor of interview/talking with Coach Janie Joseph-Richard on Hoopsville and came away knowing her team was better in her presence, if not everyone that came in contact with her. I was very inspired by her and what she stood for not only in fighting cancer but also someone who commanded a lot of respect in part because of her dedication to coaching and trying to improve her alma mater. My hats off to her and my deepest condolences to her family, her team, and her college.

Tough loss to UTD today.

The Women did not give up.

They are a young team and I saw a spark from freshman guard Keisha Collins.

Freshman guard Victoria Salazar could make a good point guard.  Let's see if she can grow into the role.

I think that the East is stronger than the West.  We will have to watch what UMHB does.  We cannot let them get too far ahead in the crossover games.
